Splash Zone Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) Probe
A rugged PEC probe for detecting corrosion around offshore waterlines through insulation or marine growth, without surface preparation.
Product overview
The Splash Zone Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) Probe is designed to detect corrosion immediately above and below the mean water level on offshore structures, including oil and gas platform legs and risers. Inspection requires neither surface preparation nor removal of marine growth.
Using pulsed eddy current inspection, the probe scans through insulation or marine growth up to 203 mm (8 in) thick and supports metal thicknesses up to 76 mm (3 in). This allows corrosion inspection with the covering material left in place.
A rugged casing and a 25 m (82 ft) heavy-duty cable support offshore inspection work. The probe is watertight down to 15 m (49 ft) in grid-mapping mode, while direct-contact operation is limited to a maximum surface temperature of 70°C (158°F).
